MIR. LAMAR INA GOOD uUMoR.

What He Says About tho Supreme Court
Rumors and Mr.. Sparks. sN
Egw YoRk, Nov. l6.-secretary Lamar
stated last evening, to a reporter OF the
Herald, that in case he was offered seat
on the Supreme bonch he would accept
tho appointment I'd the greatest honor OF
his life.
In reference to the rumor that Mr.. Don
NJ. Dickinson, OF Detroit, would probably
be invited to accept the portfolio OF Presi.
dent Cleveland's Cabinet, Mr. Lamar said
that he had no knowledge Of the matter,
but he paid high compliment to the
Detroit gentleman, and thought 1t was no
disparagement to his character that he
was, as reported, an active participant in
politics. He believed that this might be
acceptable to the rank and file Of the
Democratic party, as Mr.. Dickinson was
not only good politician in the honest
sense Of the term, but he was good Dem
crat and good citizen.
In regard to Sparks' resignation, he
said: "Mr. Sparks resignatian will in
volve no DETECTION or abatement from the
policy which President Cleveland has es.
tablished with reference to the preserva.
ton Of opr public lands from illegal appro.
priationu by corporations and land specu.
lators." '59Zll 'E5
Mr.. Lamar then paid tribute to Preai-
dent Cleveland as the actual author Of
the land reforms which had been inaugur.
ated by his administration in accordance
with the we'll known policy Of tho Demo-
cratic party. As to Mr.. Sparks taking the
credit for these great achieyemente, Mr..
Lamar only laughed. 9The work will 70
on just the same when change is made
in the head of.the General Land Office" &"
he said, with considerable vigor; mo one
man is absolutely essential in this govern
ment.p ~ it7s s.fgE ~, ,y- f. ~ - lg
